Scheduled expiration is not an exact-minute hard payment cutoff

This article covers GiveCampus campaign administration. Available controls can vary between the classic and redesigned campaign interfaces.

Set and verify the intended campaign expiration date/time in its settings, including the displayed time zone. “Midnight” means the start of the specified calendar date; clarify which night the organizer intends. Ordinary campaign giving-button visibility checks expiration automatically, and scheduled processing finishes expired online campaigns. This does not delete the public campaign page.

Do not assume that all payment routes stop at that exact minute. The donation-form route includes a 30-minute post-expiration window, subject to campaign state and authorization. When a contribution is created for an expired campaign, the gift can be assigned to the school's unexpired redirect campaign or backup giving form if one exists. A school needing a strict cutoff should have support review the actual configuration and intended treatment of late gifts. Standalone/general giving forms and ordinary giving forms are explicitly exempted from the campaign expiration check; do not apply this campaign rule to them universally.
